Featured lefthanded …… mit links veröffentlicht!

"Wobbly Kitchen"

Exciting times! Today I was featured again on the blogs of Rachael Taylor Designs and "Do what you love", together with some of my very creative "classmates" of "The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design". To see more beautiful designs of our group please have a look at part 1 of the class post on both blogs as well!
My featured pattern design is called "Wobbly Kitchen" and the motifs have been drawn completely lefthanded. I enjoy drawing – and I especially love "different" drawings, like these lefthanded ones. Why? Ok, first of all they look pretty quirky and I like the funny quality of the lines. But there's more in it: I really enjoy to be out of control for a bit while drawing with my non-dominant hand. We all try to be in control far too often! And: it is good to do things in a different way, to break the routine – this can keep us young and flexible. While drawing with my "wrong" hand, I can almost feel the neural cells in my brain connecting in new ways. (Sometimes makes me feel pretty dizzy …) And last, but not least, I love things not too perfect. Lefthand drawings are not perfect at all, they are "wobbly", playful and very human!
